I had a period several years ago where I broke my leg after having shoulder surgery, and my return to fitness was at the same time one of the most difficult and one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Hopefully something similar (and I believe both the difficult and rewarding parts were necessary) will occur for you.

We met at the Lithia Loop race and chatted about the wonders of Coca Cola.<br /><br />At some point I&#39;d love (and I&#39;d venture to guess other runners would as well) to see you post about how you&#39;re planning to approach things differently this time around as you rebuild your fitness. Could be that you touch on that in the TalkUltra podcast--haven&#39;t had a chance to listen yet. At any rate, yours is an inspirational journey, and one that will make for a great comeback tale, that&#39;s for sure. Best of luck!Jason Robertshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12520415780071215715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807027359418593456.post-48215320790528952322013-02-09T07:23:30.361-09:002013-02-09T07:23:30.361-09:00Courage Geoff!
I&#39;m sure that you had the force...Courage Geoff!<br />I&#39;m sure that you had the force, the mental to come back. You ll be the phénix ! ;)<br />The main thing, it s to see that you fell better, fell the muscle, the breath, the life...<br />Sure, je crois en toi Geoff and I bring you all that I can, even if it s not usefull.<br />In France, there a great poet: Baudelaire who writtent that:<br />&quot;Sois sage, ô ma Douleur, et tiens-toi plus tranquille.<br />Tu réclamais le Soir ; il descend ; le voici :<br />Une atmosphère obscure enveloppe la ville,<br />Aux uns portant la paix, aux autres le souci.<br /><br />Pendant que des mortels la multitude vile,<br />Sous le fouet du Plaisir, ce bourreau sans merci,<br />Va cueillir des remords dans la fête servile,<br />Ma douleur, donne-moi la main ; viens par ici,<br /><br />Loin d&#39;eux. Vois se pencher les défuntes Années,<br />Sur les balcons du ciel, en robes surannées ;<br />Surgir du fond des eaux le Regret souriant ;<br /><br />Le Soleil moribond s&#39;endormir sous une arche,<br />Et, comme un long linceul traînant à l&#39;Orient,<br />Entends, ma chère, entends la douce Nuit qui marche.&quot;<br />I love the first sentence: Be quiet and more discreet, O my Grief!<br />Bricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15677275223930698973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807027359418593456.post-55935497064283186012013-02-09T04:16:09.923-09:002013-02-09T04:16:09.923-09:00Geoff good luck with your health and getting back ...Geoff good luck with your health and getting back in shape!I would guess that you will come back with a greater appreciation of this wonderful sport that we are so lucky to participate in. I am definitely not saying that you did not appreciate it before; but after not being able to participate at all it is going to feel great to have that option again. <br /><br />Enjoy my friend!Tony Mollicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06996365417755325550noreply@blogger.com
